Reflection upon lyrics

I think the first time I heard this song was when I was 4. I distinctly have a memory of being in my dad's truck, him putting in the tape, and this being my favorite song on there. The song is "All I Really Want" by Alanis Moorisette. Throughout the years, I have yet to grow out of this song. It continues to be one of those songs I can play repeatedly for several years. So, here are the lyrics for those of you who haven't heard of it. [It's also on the playlist if you scroll down a bit (just keep clicking next)]

Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out?
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence?
Here can you handle this?


Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction?
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

I don't know why this particular song has stuck out to me through all these years, but it has prevailed. Maybe because it's odd, or I really don't know...
